i’m just sittin’ here watchin’ this old river roll by
sometimes it’s low, other times it’s high
mostly it’s just a piece of glass reflecting the sky
and all the mysteries there within
mystery’s a name for all the points on the map
where the known and the unknown worlds overlap
on a clear day you can peer straight through that gap
and watch all the gears as they spin
oh darlin’ i don’t wanna waste your time
but here i am callin’ with my last lonely dime
i’m sticking my neck out and i’m walkin’ the line
cause when i went to the well and said “show me something true”
when i asked for a sign
i saw you
i’m sitting here watching this old river roll along
it’s ripe and swollen like the chorus of a love song
it’ll wash away everything, right and wrong
off to where, no one knows
you might write it off as a coincidence
call it superstition or call it happenstance
i just know it’ll be the sweetest part of this slow, slow dance
if i ever get to pull you in close
oh darlin’ here i am with half a chance
i’m through with stalling, i’m ready for true romance
i don’t know where you’ve been babe or what you had planned
but when i gave my palm to the reader and said “do what you do”
the lines in my hand
pointed to you
i heard a bell ring at the moment we first met
i heard a rooster crow the next time after that
now i’m wide awake at midnight
voodoo dancing with a black cat
wondering how it is that i’ve never found the courage to say
oh darlin’ i i know this is out of the blue
but i’m tired of acting like a fool without a clue
so here i am reaching out and i wanna follow through
cause when i take a look at what’s missing from my life
it’s such a beautiful view
cause in every direction
i see you
cause i really see you
i see you
